LDAP for MySQL Cluster
by Howard Chu 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

I will be co-presenting a talk at the MySQL Conference on Thursday April 23 in Santa Clara, California on the back-ndb backend in OpenLDAP. Johan Andersson from Sun/MySQL will also be presenting; Symas and MySQL worked together to design the data model for this backend. http://en.oreilly.com/mysql2009/public/schedule/detail/6219 back-ndb is a new OpenLDAP slapd backend that provides direct access to MySQL's NDB Cluster engine. The NDB Cluster design allows concurrent access to relational tables from multiple access methods (including mysqld for traditional SQL access, and slapd for LDAP access) and allows capacity to scale horizontally across multiple data nodes. The OpenLDAP backend uses the native NDBAPI to achieve high speed access without any SQL translation overhead. Multiple slapd servers can operate concurrently on an NDB database, along with other mysqld servers and other agents, allowing performance to be augmented linearly simply by adding more nodes to a cluster. This will be slightly more in-depth than the back-ndb talk I presented at the UKUUG conference in March. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

back-ndb vs back-sql for exposing one MySQL db?
by Gavin Henry 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hi All, Here's a quick question, if you need to expose one MySQL db as LDAP for example, using the existing db that has customer records in it and a 3rd party application can look up via LDAP, do you use bog standard back-sql or back-ndb just use one db, as it looks easier to setup?

Folks Note sure if this is the right list ? I have a new OpenLdap (version 2.3) Server that uses Kerberos for Password Authentication, which is going to be a Replacement for NIS (YP) All Normal access works fine and users can login , access automount maps etc However there are 2 types of Ldap binding Simple TLS At the moment any body can run the following ldapsearch -x I would like to try and disable Simple Binding But if I select "disallow bind_anon" in slapd.conf file Things start to break like authentication stops working. /var/log/messages Apr 1 15:42:15 apricot sudo[31515]: pam_ldap: error trying to bind (Inappropriate authentication) Apr 1 15:42:18 apricot sudo[31515]: pam_ldap: error trying to bind (Inappropriate authentication) Apr 1 15:42:25 apricot sudo[31515]: pam_ldap: ldap_result Can't contact LDAP server How do I get a Machine to authenticate to Ldap ?

sasl use ip as digest-uri
by Zhen Li 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hi, I'm trying to do sasl authentication against an active directory server. In the second sasl bind request sent to AD, the ip address of the AD server is used as the digest-uri. e.g. "ldap/192.168.1.1". Isn't it supposed to use domain name like "ldap/svr.example.com"? I used "ldapsearch -Y DIGEST-MD5". And in ldap.conf, "uri" and "host" are given in domain names. Any help will be appreciated. liz _________________________________________________________________ View your Twitter and Flickr updates from one place – Learn more! http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/137984870/direct/01/

Question on how to setup OpenLDAP according to RFC2307
by Bryan Boone 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hi everyone, I am a noobie on LDAP. Here is my problem. I have a tape library that has a web UI that is able to authenticate with and LDAP server. I downloaded and installed OpenLDAP. I have also created some test accounts on the LDAP to make sure it is working properly, and it is. The library documentation says that it is only able to authenticate with LDAP that complys with RFC2307. I read the RFC document and I see that OpenLDAP is already RFC2307 compliant. But I still cannot authenticate the library web UI. So my question is... Is there a structure that the LDAP server should follow in order to comply with RFC2307? For instance, do I need users under certain groups? I used a posixAccount and a posixGroup. Is this correct? Here is my LDIF below. Do I have this setup correct? thanks dn: dc=ibm,dc=com objectClass: dcObject objectClass: organization o: IBM dc: ibm dn: cn=employees,dc=ibm,dc=com objectClass: posixGroup cn: employees gidNumber: 253 dn: cn=bryan,cn=employees,dc=ibm,dc=com cn: bryan uid: bbryan uidNumber: 1 gidNumber: 10 homeDirectory: /home/bryan objectClass: account objectClass: posixAccount userPassword: {crypt}ecVLdK/k7KQMg dn: cn=kenny,cn=employees,dc=ibm,dc=com cn: kenny uid: qkenny uidNumber: 5 gidNumber: 11 homeDirectory: /home/kenny objectClass: account objectClass: posixAccount userPassword: {CRYPT}RuY5yfDjlajGo dn: cn=groups,dc=ibm,dc=com objectClass: posixGroup cn: groups gidNumber: 250 dn: cn=library_a,cn=groups,dc=ibm,dc=com cn: library_a gidNumber: 251 objectClass: posixGroup memberUid: qkenny dn: cn=administrators,cn=groups,dc=ibm,dc=com cn: administrators gidNumber: 252 objectClass: posixGroup memberUid: bbryan _________________________________________________________________ Rediscover Hotmail®: Get quick friend updates right in your inbox. http://windowslive.com/RediscoverHotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Rediscover_Up…
